3 year old shoots mother in the back of the head. Hey, he's just exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.

Courtesy of MLive: 

A 26-year-old woman is expected to recover after her 3-year-old child accidentally discharged a gun, striking her in the head. 

Police and rescuers were called to the home about 2:40 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20. 

Few details were immediately available, but ambulance workers reported the woman was shot in the back of the head. She was conscious and talking with rescuers. 

She was transported to Spectrum Health Butterworth hospital.

I am sure that this young woman believed that a gun in the house made her family safer. 

However the purpose of guns are to take lives, not protect life.

    any time a child shots a gun - whether it hits someone or not - criminal charges (fines and jail time) should be dealt out to the gun owner and the person responsible for watching the child - it is a slam dunk case of child endangerment

    I know nothing about guns, so my question is how does a 3 yr old get the safety off?

    Is it that easy or are we to assume mommy left the gun laying around with the safety off?

      Not all guns have safeties. Not all people use the safeties.

      How about trigger locks, either with a key or a combination? How inexpensive is one of them compared to a child's life?

    I'm so glad she's expected to survive, so she can stand trial and be tossed in jail for TMF (Terminal Mind Fuck) I hope the kid gets help and is raised by sane family members or have gunmom's parental rights revoked and the kid placed in a proven good home.

    Gotta give these innocent victims credit, he's got good aim for a first time shooter.

    Guns kill. Guns and kids don't mix.
